Well basically whats happening to me is that im trying to make a formula where it can change the report Title each year.This is my formula

IF Year (CurrentDate) = {MENSAJE_ANNO.ANNO}THEN
{MENSAJE_ANNO.DESCRIPCION}, where Mensaje_ANNO.ANNO save the year in an INT FORMAT, and MENSAJE_ANNO_DESCRIPCION is the new title, the point is the formula is working but for some od reason it duplicate everything in the detail of my report. you can download the project here, if anyony could please help.I need it for work and its killing me...

I looked at your report. Since I dont have the database to run against I cannot give a you a solution that I know will work. I did create the following formula against the sample database for CR.

This formula works to compare a datebase field to value (this could be another database field and then then return a year. This again could be value parsed from another datafield source. If the comparision fails it then returns the year from the current system date.

If I have understood your problem correctly, the formula should give you the path to a possible solution. On the surface I looked at your formula and I cannot tell you why it did not work. There is a space between the Year and CurrentDate field. Perhaps that is the problem. Anyway I hope what follows will help your sort it out. Let us know either way.

-------------------------------------------------------------

If Year({Command.Statement Date}) = 2003 then "2003"
else
ToText(Year(CurrentDate),0,"")
